Probability
5 Minutes Revision
1. The sample space of an experiment is the set of all possible outcomes of the experiment.
2. The sample space when a coin is tossed three times is
S = {HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT}
3. Basic formula to find Probability of an event (E) is
Number of Favourable Outcomes | |
P(E) = | |
Total Number of Outcomes |
4. An event that is not very likely has a probability close to 0.
5. An event that is very likely has a probability close to 1 (100%).
6. If probability of happening an event is x then probability of not happening that event is (1-x).
7. If probability of winning a game is 0.6 then probability of loosing it is (1-0.6) = 0.4
